I will never forget something Judah shared with me during a time when he was feeling emotionally and physically fatigued. It was a full season; he was flying between Seattle and LA every week and preaching 7 times every Sunday. We were laying in bed on a Saturday night and he confessed that he didn’t know if he could get up to preach the next day, but he felt like he couldn’t “pull himself out of the game.” In that moment I called an audible by making a simple phone call to find someone else to preach (one of the advantages of working together). I tell this story because I believe spouses can be each other’s greatest assets in guarding their mental health. We need to have open, honest communication with each other and listen when someone says they are struggling. We need to be vulnerable to admit when we need help. Sometimes we need to help our spouse get a practical plan toward healing.
One of the beautiful benefits of marriage is that we can be there for each other. As a wise man once said, “Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. If one person falls, the other can reach out and help.” | Posted on 06/Feb/2024 06:07:44
